Inihayag ni Ombudsman Remulla ang eskema ng kickback sa pribadong ospital

Inihayag ni Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla ang isang eskema ng kickback sa mga pribadong ospital na kinabibilangan ng mga tauhan ng Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth). Sa eskema, ginagawang naniniwala ang mga pasyente na hindi sakop ng PhilHealth ang kanilang bayarin kaya nagbabayad sila ng cash, pagkatapos ay binabago ng ospital ang resibo. Hinikayat niya ang mga pasyente na magsampa ng reklamo laban sa mga sangkot.

Sa radyo program na 'Executive Session' sa dzRH, ipinaliwanag ni Remulla ang modus operandi ng eskema. "Ang (pera ng pasyente) ay iko-kickback. Sasabihin nila hindi sakop ng PhilHealth ang bill," ani niya sa Filipino.

Halimbawa, binabayan ng P75,000 ang pasyente at dahil sinabing wala silang PhilHealth coverage, nagbabayad ito ng buong halaga. Pag-alis ng pasyente, binabago ng ospital ang resibo: tunay na P35,000 ang ibinabayad sa ospital, at ang kaibahan ay kinukuha ng mga sangkot.

"Pag na-verify na nag-falsify sila ng resibo, pwede silang magsampa ng kaso laban sa mga empleyado ng ospital at PhilHealth," ani Remulla. Nananawagan siya sa publiko na mag-ulat upang masuksuhan ang mga responsable.

Ang pahayag ay nagmumula sa opisyal na imbestigasyon ng Ombudsman laban sa korapsyon sa sektor ng kalusugan.
